How appropriate that my Yoga X workout would fall on Thanksgiving. In the photo I am doing the Namaste pose. The word, Namaste, is a common greeting in Southeast Asia that means, "I bow to you." Namaste also has many other cool multi-religious meanings that go along with the spirit of Thanksgiving. Click here if you're interested in reading more.I am very thankful this Thanksgiving. If you look at all the crazy things that have happened to me this year (e.g. open-heart surgery, totaled my car twice, etc.), you'd probably think I was one of the unluckiest people you ever met. However, I consider myself very fortunate.
First, I survived my heart surgery. Most people die before they discover they had my problem. I walked away from two major auto accidents with nary a scratch. Business has been slow but at least I'm still in business. I have three wonderful sons and we all have a great relationship. I met my soul mate, Karen, this year. I've dated lots of girls, but this is my first serious relationship since my divorce 15 years ago. I'm in better shape than I was in high school thanks to the P90X program and my remodeled heart. The list goes on and on.
It is so easy to look at life negatively, to see the down side of things. However, you can just as easily flip things over and see how bad luck is quite often good luck, tragedy is triumph. Even though times are hard, I think we all have a lot to be thankful for. Life is truly golden.
Namaste
